Open list! Have at! (Inspiredâ€”or was that inspissated?â€”by my other list from 2007, seen here.) Except for the honorary first addition (thanks sionnach), please try to add only words you hear in actual conversation over the holiday.

Edit: It is now post-Christmas festivities, and I have an extensive list not of words, unfortunately, but phrases. I'm adding them here because it doesn't seem worth it to create a separate list for words/phrases in 2008. All bets are off in 2009, since the family now realizes I am listing words and purposely takes conversations in a non-Christmas direction only to experience the transient joy of seeing me reach for my pen and paper.

I didn't hear this in conversation. But I was nosing around a shop that seemed to be fraught with gifty-type things and there, leaping from a tinsel-ringed basket of body lotion, was the sign: Liberty, Equality, and a nice tight Bum.
